Well, I was sworn to secrecy on this until it became public, but now it's public. Reuben Houston is BACK..................He attended practice today in shorts, while the the rest of the team was in pads. Why?..... Evidently a judge has ORDERED Georgia Tech to reinstate Houston to the team. I mean ORDERED. Now here's the weird part. GT officials are SHOCKED and openly upset at the ruling, since in Dave Braine's words "Playing college football, especially at a school like Georgia Tech, is a privilege, not a right."........................ Has there EVER been such a no-lose situation arise in the history of Georgia Tech sports? A kid makes a HUGE error in judgement, who also happens to be your starting corner and best DB. He's kicked off the team because of it, but now a judge is "forcing" him back on the team. Dave Braine can come out publicly and be outraged (which he has), all the while Houston starts getting ready to help the team for the remainder of the season.

Could Coach Gailey's luck finally be changing? Instead of flunkgate, injuries and eligibility issues, he gets a 5-year contract extension and now a federal court is ORDERING our best DB player back on the field regardless of federal charges against him. I think this just may be the start of something big. Are you sniffing upsets against Miami and UGAg? Are you thinking our recruiting class takes a turn to the top 20? Are you sniffing no NCAA sanctions? Right now, anything seems possible..............................................
